We discuss the woe-is-me posturing of non-scientist Graham Hancock, and his ludicrous theories about an advanced civilization wiped out by the last ice age, which spread its knowledge far and wide, and thus is responsible for all of the ancient structures we normally credit to people like the Egyptians, the Mayans, etcetera. I should mention we had…

This is the end of the Zecharia Sitchin part of this very weird series. But there's still more Ancient Astronauts to come. This time, we learn more about the Annunaki, and how apparently they need human gametes. These Nibiru aliens are straight-up freaks, yo. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

We're continuing our tour through the life's work of Zecharia Sitchin, this time exploring in-depth his very strange rendition of the ancient Babylonian Creation myth. According to Zechy, an unknown 12th (Why 12th? It's weird) planet did a bunch of shit to our inner solar system, including creating the Earth and Moon, before retreating back on its …

We finally introduce arguably the second-most-important ancient aliens conspiracy theorist, shipping executive, amateur researcher, and adorable little old man Zecharia Sitchin. He's just as wrong and bull-headed as von Daniken, but we find him both more imaginative and more pleasant than his Swiss rival. Plus, we have an expert, Dr. David Miano, w…

Walter Ciszek, a Jesuit priest, endured solitary confinement and harsh conditions in Soviet prisons for 23 years. His trust in God's will and his commitment to living a life of love helped him find hope and inner peace. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/god-in-all-things/support…

Somehow, we're still talking about Ancient Aliens, This time, we're continuing with our examination of Philip Coppens' work in this area. We consider his best arguments for the idea, find them wanting, and then tear apart the crystal skull and metal library nonsense. Come on along. It's a good time. See you in two weeks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.…

Fear and greed are powerful drivers in our financial lives, but the Gospel calls us to a different way of relating to money and possessions. Ignatian spirituality and Catholic social teaching can inspire us to make choices rooted in love, solidarity, and trust in God's abundance. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/god…

Don't let our title fool you. We haven't gone soft on the horsefeathers that is Ancient Aliens theory. But in this episode, we do find the best, most rigorous book on the topic written by an enthusiast, try to give him the benefit of the doubt, and then realize that his worldview is still fatally flawed. Plus, we talk strawmen versus steelmen argum…

Episode 4 is all up in that Basque. Ok, so that joke deson't work. But the episode does! Learn why von Daniken acolyte Nick Redfern is pretty sure the Basque people of Northern Spain and Southern France are totes aliens, you guys. Oh, and if you have a "negative" instead of a "positive" blood type--guess what? You're an ET, too. Come explore this v…

We're still digging down into the Erich von Daniken rabbit hole, touching on some other authors who have followed EvD's lead in speculating about the extrarrestrial origins of the stories underpinning Judaism and Christianity. In other words, you're about to learn why Jesus isn't just your co-pilot--he's in charge of the whole goddanged UFO. Also, …

Introductions done, we dive into our first subject in this grand UFO series--that is, Ancient Aliens and the man most responsible for bringing them to us, Erich Von Daniken. In addition to being a hilariously self-regarding fabulist, EVD is also just a very weird dude with quite a checkered legal past. We get into all of that, as well von Daniken's…

Seems like we've been promising this for ages, but it's finally here. Welcome to our next (very) long series, which we've called "Unidentified", because we think it's a cool name, but also because if we just called it "UFOs", or something, we'd be selling our ambition short. Yes, we're going to cover all of the standard "are aliens visiting us" stu…

We're back! But we're not doing UFOs yet. First, we're doing a two-parter on one of the most famous music-related conspiracies in modern history--that is, the sudden mania that gripped The Beatles fandom, who for very confusing reasons in 1969 started thinking that Paul McCartney had secretly died and been replaced with a doppelganger, whose voice …

The scriptures present many names for God, drawing out the many characteristics of an infinite Creator who is both personal and transcendent. The prophet Isaiah offers four specific names for Christ: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. We are given four images of God, images that may come and go in our lives, a…

I can't believe it myself, but we actually got to the end of this series. In this one, we get a visit from Computer Guy, who leaves much the worse for wear, check in on the Qanon Children's Crusade, and finally consider the example of Lara Logan, a talented journalist who has gone full Q-razy. It's been quite a ride. We'll spend the next couple of …

Here, one episode away from the finish line, we finally consider the question that has haunted theologians for thousands of years. What if the messiah was actually Donald Trump? Yes, we engage with a strange branch of evangelicalism that is literally considering Trump for godhood. Plus, we examine the phenomenon of Trump coins, a currency almost co…

In this, our antepenultimate Qanon episode, we hear what's almost certainly the weirdest Q story of them all--the tale of Austin Steinbart, a man who believes Q is a future version of himself. Plus, we check in on those formerly repentant Q-crazed January 6th convicts, and examine Qanon as one of the great grifting opportunities of our time. Two mo…

She has returned to us! Oh, blessed day. Yes, it is with gratitude that we say goodbye to Elena Pegasus and hello to our very own mythical horse lady, freshly returned from her monthlong European summer sojurn. MUST BE NICE. And we look back on the Epstein story (still unconvinced that he had help killing himself), and talk about why Q nuts went bu…

One day later than you might have expected, due to the Labor Day holiday, we're wrapping up our Q world tour with a couple of scenic stops in Australia and Germany to learn how our favorite home-grown American nonsense has impacted our friends around the world. Co-host Elena Pegasus continues to keep this train a-running, but look forward to the tr…

The terrifying reign of Elena Pegasus continues! Seriously, though, our guest co-host once again joins us to explore another truly bizarre story from the annals of Qanon. This one is Romana Didulo, the self-proclaimed Queen of Canada, and trust me when I tell you the story is weirder than you think it is, even if you've heard something about her an…

Don't Panic! Our lovely Dana Unicorn is on monthlong European vacation (MUST BE NICE! I'm not bitter), and the wonderful Elena Pegasus, her cousin, has stepped into the breach as we detail the fallout of Russiagate, and how it affected the growth of Q, Plus, we talk about the dumbest political slogan of my lifetime. More Elena next week, as we dive…

This time, I'm maybe gonna hit some of you where it hurts. By "some of you", I mean "those of you who like me loathe Trump and want to believe every bad story about him, and have trouble admitting we may have been wrong about some of them." So, yeah. We're talking about Russia Gate, and how those who cling to it in spite of a total lack of evidence…

Hi everybody. This time, as promised, we actually get back to talking about the last few years of Qanon. But not until we reveal the cordwood stacks of bodies that Bill and Hillary supposedly left in their bloody path to power. Oh, and we also reminisce about that time Christopher Hitchens wrote a book about all the times the Clintons lied. It's al…

How can we expand personal discernment into a process that considers how my choices affect generations to come? Being a 'time rebel' expands our view beyond the present, considering how God's project unfolds far beyond me here and now. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/god-in-all-things/support…
